REB is proud to reveal its Top 100 Agents ranking for the 15th year, run in partnership with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
For a decade and a half, REB’s Top 100 Agents ranking has provided national recognition to top-performing agents across Australia who have achieved exceptional settlement numbers and demonstrated leadership in the property industry. It also rewards agents who have used their strong local knowledge of the property market to guide vendors and buyers and offer exceptional customer service.
Now in its 15th year and run with support from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CommBank), the ranking offers agents across Australia the platform to benchmark their figures against the crème de la crème in real estate and emulate their success.
The top 100 agents of 2026 posted strong figures, selling 12,154 properties in 2025, up from 11,710 in 2024. This resulted in a corresponding increase in the combined value of properties sold from $25.8 billion in 2024 to $28.4 billion in 2025.
While the top 10 agents sold fewer properties in 2025 (1,489) compared to 2024 (1,559), the combined value jumped from $5.3 billion to $6.1 billion.
These results reflect broader trends in the property market throughout 2025, as national dwelling prices increased by 7.7 per cent through the first 11 months of the year, according to figures from Cotality. Buyers faced supply constraints and ongoing housing affordability challenges last year. The median dwelling value was over eight times higher than the median household income by September 2025, while buyers required 11 years to save a 20 per cent deposit.
While interest rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) offered temporary relief and buoyed buyers, these incentives increased prices further and exacerbated affordability constraints.
Nevertheless, buyers flocked to the property market, and agents capitalised on this strong demand in 2025, as evidenced by the settlement figures.
The top 100 agents settled 122.0 properties on average in 2025, up from 117.0 in 2024, while the value of properties settled totalled $283.9 million. This represented a significant increase from $258.2 million in 2024.
The top 10 agents settled fewer properties in 2025, but the value of properties settled spiked considerably compared to the prior year. They settled 149.0 properties in 2025 (down from 156.0 in 2024), but the value increased from $528.7 million in 2024 to $643.9 million in 2025.
The most significant jump was in the average sales price across the top 10 agents, which surged by over $1.0 million or 32.1 per cent. They sold properties for an average price of $4.5 million in 2025, up from $3.4 million in 2024, according to the ranking data.
The top 100 agents also saw a slight increase, as their average sales price rose from $2.4 million in 2024 to $2.6 million in 2025.
Time on market remained largely consistent year on year, with the top 100 agents taking 33.0 days on average to sell a property, while the top 10 took 31.0 days on average to make a sale in 2025 (up from 28.0 days in 2024).
PPD Real Estate partner Alexander Phillips retained his top rank for the 11th consecutive year, while Clarke & Humel Property principal Michael Clarke placed second. Sotheby’s International Realty sales agent James Ball rose from sixth position last year to third position in this year’s Top 100 ranking.
CommBank real estate banking lead Monique McCullough said CommBank is delighted to once again partner with the rankings, recognising the exceptional performance, leadership, and professionalism demonstrated across Australia’s real estate industry.
“The real estate industry plays a critical role in the Australian economy, and at CommBank, we recognise our responsibility to support the agents, principals, and businesses who underpin strong communities nationwide,” McCullough said.
“We’ll continue to invest in specialist expertise, digital capability, and industry‑led innovation to help you navigate change, unlock opportunity, and build stronger, more resilient businesses. Our ongoing partnership with REB reflects a shared commitment to recognising excellence and celebrating those who set the national benchmark for performance.”
“Congratulations to all ranked agents on this outstanding achievement, and thank you for the contribution you make to your customers, communities, and the broader Australian economy.”
Commenting on the performance of this year’s ranked agents, Agile Market Intelligence director Michael Johnson said: “Agents in the real estate industry operated in an interesting market in 2025 as tight supply and higher buyer demand pushed up property prices, along with various government incentives. Agents were able to hone in on that buyer demand and enjoy the fruits of their labour.”
“The spike in property prices also propelled their settlement numbers and value, and it is clear that agents pushed themselves to attain strong sales prices for their vendors. Congratulations to the top 100 agents for earning a place in this prestigious ranking.”
REB managing editor Liam Garman also commended the agents for demonstrating acute business acumen and implementing smart strategies to help their vendors achieve optimal results.
“I am so impressed by the discipline, work ethic, and sheer talent shown by Australia’s top agents,” Garman said.
“Every agent in REB’s Top 100 Agents ranking has set the benchmark for excellence in the real estate profession. They have raised the bar with their exemplary results and motivated other agents to emulate their outcomes.”
REB’s Top 100 Agents ranking is compiled by Agile Market Intelligence, the research arm of parent company Momentum Media.
The ranking was designed specifically to provide national recognition to top-performing agents across metropolitan, regional, and rural Australia.
This year’s ranking was assessed using transparent, performance-based metrics drawn from the agents’ 2025 calendar-year results. These include the total dollar value of settled residential sales, the number of properties sold, and the average sales price. Other supporting performance indicators include days on market and years of experience.
